Chapter 4 : Shopping
"Good morning Hannah" Mark beamed, entering the kitchen, moving dirty dishes to the sink.
"Good morning Mark!" I responded, massaging a sore muscle on my tense right shoulder. Last night, I insisted on sleeping on the couch so Jack can have my soon-to-be room, he deserved a long nights rest in a quiet space.
Jack walked down the stairs and grinned cheerily.
"Hey Hannah! Hey Markimoo!" He giggled excitedly, hyper.
Jack had been here for three day's now, and we had already become quite close friends during this period.
He had given me his number, mostly for the purpose of meme distribution, and I had even made a video with him, laughing hysterically at varying online game's. I had a channel that climbed in subscribers each day, while Jack and Mark would teach me on successfully filming, editing and attracting viewers.
"Hey Hannah, would you like to go shopping today?" Mark asked suddenly, sipping his cappuccino. I nodded in agreement, mouth too full of cereal to respond. .
"Do you like shopping?" Jack asked, snickering at my reaction.
"Hell nah" I replied, chuckling, finally swallowing the last bite of my breakfast. He grinned and chuckled, sipping his coffee also, and Mark was heard laughing loudly as he walked upstairs.
I walk upstairs after him. "Marki, you know all my clothes and stuff are at Ben's place, why don't we just go get it?" My voice wavered, what a stupid suggestion.
'I don't want anything to do with that hellhole.'
"Hannah I am not letting you near that guy, especially after everything he did to you" Mark spoke sternly, sudden and forceful.
"I agree" I spoke quietly, smiling and walking down the hallway.
I walked back downstairs and glanced around, Jack nowhere to be seen. "Jackaboy?" I call out loudly, grasping his sunglasses off of the table beside me.
He comes out of the room wearing his favourite blue hoodie and denim acid wash jeans, with green and black converse shoes, custom made, in his hand.
"Alright ready to go?" Mark asked, clapping his hands.
"Yep, Jackaboy, you coming?" I ask, handing him his sunglasses. He glanced at them, contemplating.
"On second thoughts, I think this will give you and Mark a chance to bond more, y'know, without me crashing on ya" He responded, placing his converse beside the door.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah of course! Have fun you two"
"Alright, seeya a bit later Jack!" I called, waving and jumping into the car Mark had started.
"Bye!" He called as the car pulled out down the driveway.
Pulling up to the mall, Mark seemed excited yet apprehensive at once as he swung the car with ease into a parking bay. "You okay Mark?"
"I'm just excited"
"About what?"
"I am really excited to spend time with you, it's like a little Dad-Daughter adventure" He smiles softly. My smile widened as I giggled in agreement ."Alright let's go!" Mark laughed, excitedly.
I walked into the mall behind him, eyes trailing around the many stores and people, when I suddenly see someone I swear I recognised.
Tall brown haired girl, falling just below her shoulders, wearing a shirt that said 'Normal is boring,' a black beanie, denim jeans and boots.
Emily.
My best friend, before Ben locked me away in my room and took my phone, forcing me to lose everyone.
"EMILY!" I all but screeched, running up behind her.
"OMG HANNAH! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER GIRL!" Emily screamed, swinging around and hugging me tightly. I divulged all my information, she knew I lost my phone, not what happened after. Mark waited, patiently, looking at his phone.
"I'm really sorry, I have to go" I say finally. She gave me her number for if I got a phone, and I hugged her goodbye.
"Seeya Em! I will text you!"
"You better! bye bye Hanny!"
I waved with a laugh and walked off with Mark, looking through all the clothes shop.
"Just for the record, if you buy a midriff or something, don't wear it in front of me, or short skirts" Mark commented quietly.
"Oh please as if I would buy that stuff" I scoffed lightheartedly. He laughed lightly and continued to scroll through twitter while leaning on a wall.
I bought a black skater skirt just above my knee's, a high neck crop jumper, a few shirts, white and black trench coats, a few pairs of high waist jeans and shorts, a few other tops and blouses and some shoes. And a few midriffs.
'Just don't tell Mark.'
Mark left one of the stores while I was shopping and came back with a white bag. "What's this?"
"Just have a look" Mark spoke excitedly. I opened the box to reveal and iPhone 6s.
"Holy Holl! Is this for me?!" I asked excitedly. He nodded with a wide smile as I hugged him. "Thank you so much Mark, this is so insanely generous, I can't accept this" I began tearing up.
"What's wrong?!" He asked concerned, hugging me tightly.
"It's just, no one has ever been this nice to me" I said through tears. He hugged me tightly again, whispering to me softly.
"It's alright sweetie, I want the best for you. Do you want to go home?"
"Y-Yes please. And once again, thank you so much. This is absolutely amazing, I cannot thank you enough" I told him as Mark grabbed my hand gently and lead me to the car, continuing our adventure with an ice cream on the way home.
